I'm remixing an R.E.M. track called 'I've Been High' from their last album, 'Reveal.' It's a beautiful song, but record execs didn't put it out as a single because it didn't sound like the R.E.M. we're used to. So I asked Michael Stipe if I could have the tapes to do a remix, and he agreed.
When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring true.
As an actor, there's very little you can do if people don't want to see you. Just getting yourself into the room to audition is tough.
